An Enumeration of the Primitive Recursive Functions without Repetition
نویسنده
چکیده
In a theorem and its corollary [1] Friedberg gave an enumeration of all the recursively enumerable sets without repetition and an enumeration of all the partial recursive functions without repetition. This note is to prove a similar theorem for the primitive recursive functions. The proof is only a classical one. We shall show that the theorem is intuitionistically unprovable in the sense of Kleene [2]. For similar reason the theorem by Friedberg is also intuitionistically unprovable, which is not stated in his paper.

Sub-computabilities
Every recursively enumerable set of integers (r.e. set) is enumerable by a primitive recursive function. But if the enumeration is required to be one-one, only a proper subset of all r.e. sets qualify. Starting from a collection of total recursive functions containing the primitive recursive functions, we thus define a sub-computability as an enumeration of the r.e. sets that are themselves one...
متن کاملThe Primitive Recursive Functions are Recursively Enumerable
Meta-operations on primitive recursive functions sit at the brink of what is computationally possible: the semantic equality of primitive recursive programs is undecidable, and yet this paper shows that the whole class of p.r. functions can be enumerated without semantic duplicates. More generally, the construction shows that for any equivalence relation ≈ on natural numbers, N/ ≈ is r.e. if ≈ ...
متن کاملCOMP9103 - 07s2 Complexity and Logic
Recursive functions: computable on a TM; might be partial (i.e., the TM might not stop for some inputs). Intuitively, recursive functions are computable using WHILE-loop – without any priori bound on the number of iterations of the loop. (Cook the potatoes until tender.) Primitive recursive functions: A smaller class, computable using a loop of the form FOR i < g(x) DO · · · , where g(x) is pre...
متن کاملAvoiding Coding Tricks by Hyperrobust Learning
The present work introduces and justiies the notion of hy-perrobust learning where one xed learner has to learn all functions in a given class plus their images under primitive recursive operators. The following is shown: This notion of learnability does not change if the class of primitive recursive operators is replaced by a larger enumerable class of operators. A class is hyperrobustly Ex-le...
متن کاملEnumeration of Partitions by Long Rises, Levels, and Descents
When the partitions of [n] = {1, 2, . . . , n} are identified with the restricted growth functions on [n], under a known bijection, certain enumeration problems for classical word statistics are formulated for set partitions. In this paper we undertake the enumeration of partitions of [n] with respect to the number of occurrences of rises, levels and descents, of arbitrary integral length not e...
